And Partners, a digital design and marketing firm, has jumped ship in favor of a cheaper lease at 121 East 24th Street, Crain’s reported. Previously stationed in pricey Chelsea, where the average asking rent is $61.77 per square foot, And Partners will now occupy a 5,200-square-foot space for $45 per square foot.

“They definitely wanted to stay in the 20s, and this was a really good value,” Adams & Co. broker Jeff Buslick, who represented the tenant in the 10-year deal, told Crain’s. “It was definitely a value play.”

Their former space was at 158 West 27th Street — an office two-thirds the size of the new one.
